Kettal and Patricia Urquiola create Kettal Cottage: a part tiny house, part tent escape

This small tent-like structure designed by <a href="http://www.patriciaurquiola.com/" target="_blank">Patricia Urquiola</a> is a combination of a camping tent, hammock and tiny-house all in one. Designed for a manufacturer of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/outdoor-furniture/" target="_blank">outdoor furnishings</a> Kettal, the Kettal Cottage allows you to spend more time lounging in your yard and enjoying nice weather.

Spanish archtiect and designer, Patricia Urquiola, creates unique furniture pieces, including this cottage.

For the Italian company Budri, which was affected by the devastating earthquake that struck the Italian region of Emilia in 2012, Urquiola created furniture pieces from the archive of damaged marbles and stones.

Patricia Urquiola's collaboration with furniture manufacturer Kettal has resulted in interesting lines of outdoor furnishings that use natural and sustainable materials.

The cottage features wooden struts that provide support for the roof-mounted fabric and the triangular metal frames.

This time, she created a cottage that can be used as a refuge for meditation, relaxing or simply reading a book.

The structure demonstrates the designer's interest in working on technologically developed materials using craft techniques.
